Everyone knows Walt Disney World is famous for iconic attractions, beautiful theming, and world-class entertainment. From Magic Kingdom to EPCOT to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom and even Disney Springs, there’s always something to enjoy for Guests of all ages. One of the biggest draws to the Resort however is the amazing food offered across the property.
While many restaurants are open across Walt Disney World’s hundreds of acres of land, few reach the status of the California Grill. Set on top of Disney’s iconic Contemporary Resort just next to Bay Lake, California Grill offers Guests some truly fun, inventive, and delicious cuisine, all with a stunning view of Cinderella Castle as well. However, for an unknown reason, California Grill has closed down for at least the rest of the day. When on the Disney World app, Guests are given a message saying the restaurant is unavailable for dining tonight.
We are not sure what is happening at the restaurant or why it closed. For those who had reservations at the restaurant, Disney typically offers Guests gift cards as a way to compensate for canceled reservations.
Inside the Magic recently reported on the menu at California Grill as well as a very expensive and luxurious cocktail, read more about that here.
